Trump praises Muslim supporters, says they could help secure Michigan win
Michigan: At a campaign rally ahead of Election Day, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump commended his Muslim supporters, suggesting they could play a pivotal role in securing Michigan for his campaign. Trump highlighted his appreciation for the community, describing them as intelligent and peace-oriented.
“They want peace. They really do. They don’t want to be in wars. They’re very smart,” Trump stated, underscoring the alignment he sees between his goals and the interests of his Muslim supporters. Michigan, a key battleground state, has a significant Muslim population, which Trump indicated could be instrumental in his campaign's success.
Trump’s remarks come as he intensifies his outreach to various voter groups in the final stretch of his campaign, hoping to secure crucial votes in the tightly contested state.
